Communication has two main elements, verbal and non-verbal. Verbal communication is the use of languages, words, sounds and letters and non-verbal communication is that which is only seen, such as body language, gestures and other signs of the human body (Eunson 2008: 260). While in a hospital-like environment, all aspects of communication skills are needed because of the variety of people you need to communicate with. The use of rich vocabulary is important in educating and informing patients although the nurse needs to make sure the patient understands the information given (Dallas & Sully 2005: 50). Listening is also a very important communication skill needed in nursing.
In order to try and create an ethos where team members feel like they are valued and are rewarded for their contributions – Individual completion of training certificates should be issued. Following recent conversations, a review of the training cycle will take place in order to ensure that all team members have received correct and adequate training to ensure that the company’s objectives are met. One field of thought is that all team members should attend quarterly training sessions in order to ensure that their skill set is adequate to meet the needs of the
In relation to the training cycle I have the role of assessor and will carry out an initial assessment with them. During the initial meeting, I will try to identify each student needs. There are several ways I can do this; I will give them an application form and paper questionnaires to complete. In the form, I will sit down with them and ask questions that might help me spot individual needs such as, Dyslexia, English language needs, computer skills and any particular audio needs. If the questionnaire does not suit a leaner, I will review the method used by my organization and adapt it to suit the learner, this could be easily done by changing the format of the initial
Reflective practice is the term used to describe the way in which professionals evaluate their own work and consider ways of improving their work. It is important to do this, as each year a different set of children and parents join the setting. They may have different needs, expectations or interests. Activities, routines and polices may have to be changed or updated to accommodate the new families. Reflecting on practice will help to see where changes need to be made.
Informal interviews are also done with candidates from day visits to courses by the IV. The assessors and staff utilise assessment through holistic approaches such as feedback wall, data upload to the centre and we have a standardisation meetings quarterly with the IV and once per year with the EV. This all collated by our centre manager Andrea. Other areas concepts such as Risk, equitable and being fair and transparent come through with our policies and procedures to link to the awarding body standards for the qualifications delivered. It also has a process for appeal and fairness that learners can refer to during the delivery if unhappy with a decision or outcome.
My service users need to be able to provide feedback and reviews of the support and services that they purchase – we do this through bi-monthly face to face meetings, ad hoc telephone calls and quarterly paper based surveys as well as our normal complaints and compliments service. They also need to be involved in consultations about changes to services and have the communication skills necessary to be able to report complaints and abuse – we help them with this by providing easy read leaflets on ‘Making a
Transcultural nursing seeks to provide care that acknowledges an individual’s culture, values, beliefs and practices and is the basis of good communication between nurses, patients and their families. Nurses need to deliver culturally appropriate care, culturally sensitive care, an understanding that is it sometimes difficult due to the cultural and ethnic diversity within our society. “Transcultural nursing is defined as an area of nursing and practice that looks at how connections of behaviour in illness, health and caring for patients are affected by the values and beliefs of specific cultural groups. It relates this knowledge in the planning and provision of what is appropriate nursing care. The beliefs of transcultural nursing are that the practices and caring behaviours of cultural groups related to health and illness may be identified and analysed.
